Just for fun

I work with children, adolescents, and families to provide effective techniques for parents and their anxious, challenging, moody children. Studies show that there are certain practices that work to facilitate improvement with children and families. I use these evidence-based treatments, meaning my work is informed by what the science says. Between sessions I ask clients to notice patterns or practice new skills in order to help them accomplish their goals in a timely manner. Throughout treatment, the client and I evaluate the effectiveness of therapy and their satisfaction with treatment to help clients get the results they want.

My areas of specialty include behavior therapy and CBT in the treatment of ADHD, acting out behaviors in children, and anxiety disorders across the lifespan. My website is www.Parentingmadepleasant.com

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you solve your problems that impede your happiness and well being. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life. You may be depressed, anxious, struggling with addiction or feeling stuck in old patterns that leave you feeling hopeless. Perhaps you are your own worse critic, habitually repeating negative, harsh, or judgmental messages to yourself. Or, you may be facing overwhelming challenges with your spouse or significant other. I have been helping people overcome these and many other life issues for over 15 years. My therapy style is warm and compassionate but also very active. I believe that therapy needs to produce insight as well as a change in behavior.
